For the Love of Donuts

Homer's Odyssey: In search of the Perfect Donut
Practically all of us have watched The Simpsons, and practically every episode has a scene where Homer, our hero, casts his eyes skyward, half closed, drooling...
"Mmmm...donuts....arrghghrrrghgrghhhh...."
There's some deep philosophy here, ladies and gentlemen. Homer's word, arrghghrrrghghgrghhhh, is untranslatable and beyond the understanding of anyone who doesn't completely love that ring of dough to which this blog is dedicated. "Arrghghrrrghghghhh" is used because no better word can be used to describe a perfect, light, heavenly soft DONUT.
Mmmmm.... .

Here are some examples:
"Donuts with a double glaze....arrghghrrrghgrghhh........"
"Do I like donuts? Yes I do. Arrghghrrrghgrghhh......."
Donuts may be the perfect snack. Several keywords are an indication of this fact, i.e.,

SUGAR COATED.
DEEP FRIED.
GLAZED.
SPRINKLES.
DEEP FRIED.
JELLY FILLED.
DEEP FRIED.

Donuts are loved the world over. Examples, with ratings. The more M's the closer the variety becomes the perfect donut

In Australia they are filled with custard (Mmm)
In Belgium the smoutbollen are filled with fruit (M)
In China they are long and eaten with porridge (erm, mm?)
In Serbia, they are filled with dulche de leche (I don't know what this is, so Mm)
In Berlin, they are filled with jam (Mmmmm)I
n India, they are spicy and eaten with sambar (I'll get back to you once I've tried it)
In Poland, they are filled with cream (Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!)
In South Africa, they are deep fried and filled with honey (Arrghghgrrghhh....!)
Getting warmer~!

In Malaysia, they are sold by roadside vendors. Deep fried to fluffy perfection, and rolled in sugar. (MMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!! Arghghghgharghghghghg!!!)

Canadians are my new favourite people because according to Wikipedia, they consume the most donuts per capita in the world. They also have the most donut stores of any country in the world. I wonder why the whole world isn't migrating to Canada.

I hope I've managed to introduce the subject of this deep fried delight. Donuts have a long and honourable tradition, so please don't just laugh when you see Homer Simpson salivating like a starved hyena when he thinks of a donut. He's really in communion with something more than just a pastry. Donuts are a gift from above. I wish it rained donuts but I'm not crazy. So until it does rain donuts, I'll stick to reality and pluck donuts from the donut trees that grow in donut land, and fly in the air and eat them on clouds soft as fresh donuts.
